This program invites students to examine the significance of religious experience through the disciplines of theology and religious studies. Courses explore the human encounter with the divine through its historical and contemporary expressions in the lives of individuals and communities. As a Catholic university, Marymount offers courses that examine the richness of the Catholic faith and its theological heritage. This program offers introductory and advanced courses in systematic and moral theology, scripture studies, and church history. These theology courses are combined with religious studies courses that introduce students to the complexity of the religious experience in human existence, the major religious traditions of the world, and the interaction of religion and culture. The department reflects the university?s emphasis on ethics by offering an array of courses concerned with social justice and employing service learning. The major in theology and religious studies aims to develop in students a critical understanding of basic religious beliefs and their embodiment in dynamic religious traditions. The approach to theology and religious studies is critical and analytical. Students in the major are expected to take introductory courses in both theology and religious studies. Students will then concentrate their upper-division courses. Senior students complete a senior seminar, which assesses the comprehensive knowledge of the student and requires a thesis. Upon successful completion of the theology and religious studies program, students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the moral and spiritual dimension of the self and the individual?s role in establishing a just community; demonstrate an awareness of the dialogue between faith and reason; demonstrate an awareness of elementary scriptural, historical, and doctrinal source materials; demonstrate respect for the dignity of the human person and for the condition of human diversity through thoughtful engagement with diverse religious traditions; practice civil engagement through discussion of religious differences and the possibility of pluralism; and demonstrate a global and historical perspective by examining a wide range of religious traditions in their cultural contexts.
